Magikano

Ayumi Mamiya is a witch facing a terrible loss: a curse is draining away her magic, and Haruo Yoshikawa may be the one person who can undo it. Haruo believes he is an ordinary boy, unaware that his three sisters possess magical abilities and quietly keep him away from the truth. To regain her powers, Ayumi must bring out what lies dormant in Haruo—even as his sisters resist her plan.

Blending fantasy with comedy, the 13-episode TV series builds its appeal around concealed magic, a power-losing curse, and the lively friction between Ayumi and Haruo’s protective family. Magikano is a finished 2006 series for viewers who enjoy supernatural premises with a light, playful tone.
